Sure, we’re routinely graduating kids in this country that can’t read or do basic math — but hey, let’s lard up the curriculum with a bunch of politicized nonsense, shall we?:
Maryland is the first state in the country to impose a new requirement to graduate from high school — something called environmental literacy. …
The new rule is a regulation from the State Board of Education, not a law passed by the legislature, so it lays out no specifics.

O’Malley also said it’ll serve as a “foundation for green jobs,” though one analyst says training for those is just like it is for any other job.
